The Best Quotes From South Park

Back in October, Stephen Stanton wrote a piece for Tech Central Station called, “South Park Republicans.” That article got a lot of attention — including some from me. I’ve been a “South Park Republican” for a long time and I’m big fan of the show. So in honor of South Park, I’ve decided to compile a list of my favorite quotes from the program. Do keep in mind that South Park is obscene, controversial, and is oftentimes deliberately offensive. It’s not everybody’s cup of tea and if you’re easily offended, you might even want to skip these quotes. But if you’re a South Park fan — you’re going to like what you see. Read and enjoy…
